Also just up at @WSJBooks, the terrific Katherine A. Powers on Tessa Hadley's new novel 'Free Love.' "She is a genius at capturing fugitive thoughts and memories, the propulsive energy of desire, and the provisional reasoning that constitute inner being." https://t.co/YGKBZOkwXn

Also at @WSJBooks, here's @Sam_Sacks on three novels centered around gay men, in three very different moods and modes.

For @WSJBooks, Wyatt Mason praises Jonathan Franzen's "Crossroads": "Mr. Franzen’s sentences will ensure that his Hildebrandts, troubledly embedded in God’s America and America’s idea of God, will be worth waiting to hear more from." https://t.co/NSWpIdGlYI
